Ian McNeice as the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen.
"Frank Herbert's Dune". 2000

Emperor: ''What happened to her?!'' Harkonnen: ''I dunno.'' *shrugs*

"A pretty mouth with a sting of a scorpion." I must say that's a very memorable quote.

[@Kaghemsuha]

Father and daughter heart to heart.

[@BriDog420]

Ian McNiece was perfect as the Baron.

[@VideoMask93]

Yep. Definitely the most-accurate rendition, no shade to Stellan Skarsgard.

[@AdamMichalMarkowski]

It's interesting how Baron comes up with a very twisted thing to do, but then we see him touch side of his head, like something deep inside tells him not to do it. Like somehow deep inside on subconcious level he knows Jessica is his own daughter.

[@AnnaBellaChannel]

He 100% knows hence why he mentions the wrinkled old truthsayer. He is not a fool. Does not want to upset the sisters because of what happen to him the last time. Plans within plans.

[@2009grifin1]

The revised to keep her bound... She would have killed them all with a piece of dental floss and a plastic spoon...lol

[@okolona1]

Agreed. Jessica was such a BADASS. In the new movie, everyone is afraid of her.

[@danielhaire6677]

And you really don't want to know what she would do with the floss.

[@BilltheTulaneGuy]

“One of the greatest school plays ever filmed…” Thanks Algorithm!

Plot twist: Baron is her father

[@Herr.P]

worst father in world history.

[@joshuawaldorf9559]

HOW? I thought Baron was gay.

[@Herr.P]

@@joshuawaldorf9559 he is.

[@joshuawaldorf9559]

@@Herr.P Than how in the world did he ever do it?

[@Herr.P]

@@joshuawaldorf9559 Good question.

[@christopherthorkon3997]

I have to say this is a great Baron. The new Dune (2021) is spectacular but the characters often fall flat -- and the Baron in that film just says "My Dune" and floats around a bit. No character at all really.

[@watershipfalls5520]

He still is intimidating though.

[@Littleathquakes]

no character?! he’s absolutely terrifying

[@sectorgovernor]

He didn't get too much screentime. We have to wait for part 2.

[@Sidragrosm]

Villeneuve went for brutal realism as opposed to Shakespearean flair, w/Skaarsgard's Baron. 2021's Baron was all about wealth, power and gruesome revenge - as befitting a Truly monstrous, EVIL Bastard!

[@Splunkmastah]

Lynch’s Dune is the only adaptation where the characters fall flat.
